Can never win in low ELO

Bazoooooker·4/12/2017, 12:34:25 PM·2 votes·517 views

So over the course of my LoL lifespan I've found that playing support is generally my best role. I perform the best in that role and I usually queue as support/mid or fill. This past week I have been accused 5 times with some variation of "only playing support expecting to get carried because you suck." So if I get flamed for not playing well in other roles, and I get flamed for playing support, what do people expect me to do? lol. in my previous game a level 5 kindred attempted to fight a level 7 lulu and level 8 caitlyn while I sat at my tower with around 300 hp and 100 mana as alistar. She proceeded to tell me that if I had gone in we could have got a double, and that I suck and should go practice on bots.

Generally there is a person like this in 80% of my games. I usually just say something like "ahhh.. silver" or "ok lol" in the chat. There are certain occasions where I get frustrated and flame them back, which is my mistake and I know its wrong.

Since I started playing league again, I managed to climb to gold 4 or 3 my first 2 weeks of ranked playing 90% support, and I believe a curse befell me because I have dropped back as low as silver 4, and am now in an eternal promotion/demotion loop. I get up to silver 2 with utmost difficulty might I add, I then end up losing 2-3 games after my promotion, I win maybe 1 or 2, then I lose 3-4 more and get demoted. After the demotion, I am tilted and end up dropping back down to around 20-30 LP before I stop playing for a few days, and the cycle repeats itself.

What abvice would anyone have for a support main to increases my chances of victory from game to game?

If you can eliminate all reasons, random people in soloqueue come up with to flame you, then you are god. Try not getting frustrated about what retarded people on the internet say about you. Support is equally important as all other roles. As for advice of winning more game: Lulu.

After looking at Options.Gg I noticed you play many champs. You are S2, so way higher elo than me. Try picking one support champ and Stick with them. Lulu and Sona are quite good atm. Good luck!

It's hard to say just looking at stats but if you want to play some norms sometime add me and we can give each other constructive criticism (I mainly play ADC.) If we work well together then maybe we can break each other out of silver.

Looking at your past history, your main issue is having too wide of a champion pool. I see you playing in multiple positions, with multiple multiple characters.

Let me put this on screen for you, so you can see how ludicrous this looks.

Gragas, Sona, Alistar, Exreal, Soraka, jarvan IV, Renekton, Nocturne, Taric, Camille, Alistar, Tristana, Morgana, Shen, Sion, Jax, Sivir, Twitch, Miss Fortune, Ivern, Lee Sin, Galio, Annie, Yasuo, Syndra, Nasus, Vladimir, THresh, Amumu, Nunu, Janna, Karma, Zyra, Warwick, Mordekaiser, Garen, LeBlanc, AHri, Tryndamere, Malzahar, Nidalee, Riven

And this is only in the past month. 42 separate champions. You've maybe played some of these champions 2-4 times each.

At most, if you want to climb, you should have 4 champions from each lane to dedicate yourself to. and this is waaay overkill.

Most people in diamond have about 3-6 champions for their main role, and maybe 2-3 for the other lanes. If you add that up, it's about 18 champions. (at most!, on the lower end is 11 champions.)

Maybe your searching for a better champion to play, but that's why normals exist. Don't try out new champions in ranked constantly and wonder why your not climbing in elo. That doesn't make sense. If you want to climb in elo, you get good in normals with your champion pool, and then you start going into ranked matches.

Now, I'm not saying I'm any better then you, however I saw this quote earlier today, and it fits your situation perfectly, tbh.

"I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times." - Bruce Lee

Hopefully this helps highlight what I feel to be your biggest issue.
